Colombia: First National Strike Against De la Espriella Draws Thousands

Thousands across a dozen Colombian cities joined the first national strike against the De la Espriella administration, uniting unions, leftist Pacto Histórico, LGBTI groups, indigenous communities, teachers, and students. The breadth of participation signals broad early opposition, though the strike's immediate political impact remains uncertain. This marks a notable escalation in domestic pressure on the new government.
